Excerpt: When he reaches between her thighs, she feels his bracelets sliding, scratching, rasping, rolling. Earrings glint when his shaggy black hair falls in his face, and her own hands ache to push it back. Not that she can reach so high right now. Earlier this afternoon, when he brought his head down and . […]

“First Slap” in The Big Book of Submission, Volume 2
Excerpt ““Can I…” she started. “What?” He almost told her, Anything, just go ahead. “Can I slap you?” He was struck by how she asked the question.

[T]he real gems in this anthology are those that eschew the usual pert, young, able-bodied subjects of erotic fantasy in favor of more thoughtful, relatable portrayals, and are all the sexier for it. Of particular note are Scout Rhodes’s “Morning Fog,” which features sleepy early-morning sex between women over 60; T.C. Mill’s “Fearless,” which touchingly […]

Excerpt: He folded it aside, out of the flames’ reach, and joined her close to them. The apron of woven vines around his waist shifted. She looked at it, around it, at what she knew she shouldn’t look at but wanted to see. Nakedness…it did not feel like a name he had made, though he […]

Excerpt: Without breaking the kiss, Bela stepped forward, pushing Faon’s body against the wall, and her body against his. His touch continued to rove, a hand at the small of her back pressing her nearer. Clutching his hips, Bela shifted her pelvis, starting to rock and rub. His moan could almost be taken for a […]
